One fact is abundantly clear about disruptive technologies such as the Internet and Tivo: Consumers are in control. News is available on demand 24 hours a day. Digital video recorders (DVRs) allow users to skip over commercials. New tools such as Really Simple Syndication, or RSS, allow a mass media audience to find and view only the news feeds that are most relevant to them.

And when it comes to video on WRAL.com, we're now letting visitors build their own newscasts. Interested only in the daily forecast and the story about Wake County student reassignment? Simply come to the homepage, review the video headlines at the top of the third column, check the clips of interest to you and click the play button. The selected clips play back to back.

For a more complete list of video clips available, click the VIDEO tab in our main navigation menu. You also can search our video archives from the video player itself or from our main SEARCH page.

We believe that video will become increasingly important to our visitors, and we will continue to improve the quantity and quality of video available through WRAL.com.
